Some are mostly benign, they have twisted perceptions of mortal beings but mean no explicit harm, others take their inherently destructive nature to heart. Based on what I've seen this one plans nothing more than wanton destruction and has made superego into its puppet."
// quick question: would a shade look anything like this?
(they could? A shade is bound by n physical laws as they are not of any reality, and as such can take on any shape and/or consistency they wish. They do default to an amorphous misty shadow form though)
((This feels somewhat similar to the origin story of the Eternals, except instead of an amalgamation of dead people they're an amalgamation of multiple contradictory versions of the same person who has achieved a form of godhood... Or, well, that's what they think they are, anyway.))
